GE Company and Components
List “GE COMPANY” first, and below it, in alphabetical order, list the communicative names of components (usually consisting of “GE” plus a generic description of the component’s broadest competence or major product line). Note: Not all publishers permit such listings.
Cross-reference GE. Because some callers seek listings under the legal name, list product information and consumer product service numbers under
“GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY” with a crossreference to the GE Company listings, if required. Note: Do not list any component, subcomponent, or affiliate numbers under this heading.
List all GE businesses under one bold heading,
“GE COMPANY,” to help callers quickly locate the Company. These listings should follow any for product information (such as “GE Answer Center”) and consumer product service. Do not use bold headings for each office listing because such bold headings would compete with the “GE COMPANY” heading, making it difficult to read the listing.
Because of the high volume of calls to product information, consumer product service, and manufacturing plant (where applicable) numbers,
list these numbers before the alphabetical listing of components’ numbers.
Affiliates
List “GE Capital” under the “GE COMPANY” bold
heading and above the “OTHER OPERATIONS”
subheading. List all other affiliates alphabetically with GE components under “OTHER OPERATIONS.”
Note: List only GE components and affiliates under the name “GE” in White Pages. Independent resellers and dealers may not be listed under
“General Electric Company,” “General Electric,” or “GE Company.” Entries such as “GE Repair Shop” or “General Electric Washing Machine Parts” should be brought to the attention of the component Patent Counsel for appropriate action.

Advertising outside the U.S.A. |
241.90 |
Although the print advertising standards (pages 02 to 05) apply throughout the world, there are additional rules to follow outside the U.S.A.:
• A created or acquired affiliate licensed to use a corporate trademark by itself should use it,
normally in a graphic signature, for the sign-off in an advertisement.
• A joint venture affiliate licensed to use the Monogram together with the mark(s) of the other joint venture partner(s) (joint marks) should use these marks, normally in a graphic signature, for the sign-off.
• The corporate trademarks should be qualified with a standard trademark protection notice, preferably Form 2, as shown in document
121, Primary Trademarks & Service Marks, page 06.
When the Company name or affiliate name is already featured, use Form 1, also shown in document 121 on page 06.

Recruitment
g
GE Identity Program
These guidelines apply to the display advertising of employment opportunities with
•the Company and its
-components and subcomponents
-divisions, departments, and operations
•affiliates licensed to use the GE identity
Successful recruitment advertisements do more than list job openings. In a swarm of competing advertisements of widely varying quality, successful advertisements attract and hold a desirable candidate’s attention. Their look and tone reflect the advertised company’s culture and philosophy, providing an introduction to the company for the prospective employee. According to the Newspaper Advertising Bureau and other experts, that perception strongly influences a candidate’s decision to pursue a career with a company.
Thus, each GE recruitment advertisement must
•stand out from competitive clutter
•appeal to the high-quality people the Company seeks to hire
This document contains guidelines for
•layout
•typefaces
•the signature identifying the component or affiliate
as well as suggestions for advertising copy to help bring greater clarity, consistency,
and creativity to GE recruitment advertisements, making them
•highly visible and appealing
to the people the Company seeks to hire
•faster, easier, and more economical to produce
